If it's not about performance, then it damn well shouldn't be 90%
inline functions in a header file.

If it's a helper function, it needs to be a real function elsewhere. Not this:

 include/linux/find_atomic.h                  | 324 +++++++++++++++++++

because either performance really matters, in which case you need to
show profiles, or performance doesn't matter, in which case it damn
well shouldn't have special cases for small bitsets that double the
size of the code.
